‘Bigbelly Seahorse’ ~ Dracones et Equorum | Dragons & Horses

This palladium print reproduction features an intimate close-up of the Bigbelly Seahorse (Hippocampus abdominalis), one of the largest and most endearing members of the seahorse family. Native to southern Australian waters, the Bigbelly’s distinctive round abdomen and curled tail are captured here in exquisite detail ~ a quiet portrait of grace, strength and quiet curiosity.

As part of Liam Lynch’s Dracones et Equorum | Dragons & Horses series, this image explores the mythical elegance of real marine creatures, blurring the line between fantasy and biology. The palladium process enhances the tactile beauty of the subject, lending a soft luminosity and rich tonal range that give the print a timeless, almost sculptural quality.

Printed with care and reverence, Bigbelly Seahorse invites the viewer into a world both ancient and intimate ~ a reminder of the fragile magic dwelling beneath the surface.
